Vehicle/Pedestrian Collision Investigation in South Seattle

Detectives are conducting their investigation following a vehicle/pedestrian collision in the 3600 block of South McClellan Street. The pedestrian, a woman in her 70s, sustained serious injuries and was transported to Harborview Medical Center for treatment.

The collision occurred today at approximately 1:00 pm. It is believed that the woman was walking with her dog at the time of the collision. The dog—described as a black lab mix, approximately 40 pounds, with a leash—ran off when the collision occurred, and it is believed that the dog may have sustained injuries as well.
